Preparing for the Tum bic.
Dallas Herald

What is Dallas doing about the reirig,
Grating business talked about so eloquent,
ly and written about so iearnedly?
The Herald can answer its own ques-
ton; nothing. Fort Worth, however,
has done goo deal in q very suOstan-
tial and business like way. They have
organized company, procured q charter
and done all else necessary to gobb.e the
whole thing, il Guiding capital stock OF
$500, 900. This is business. the first OF
February the committee appointed by the
Cattlemen's convention to receive bids
and select location will open such bids
as they receive and proceed to locate. If
Dallas is going to do anything she had
better do it. 1t is true, If Fort Worth
should fail to secure this prize, she might
as well hang up the fiddle and the bow
and settle down to quiet life; not so, how
ever, with Dallas. This city ought to
have these establishments for the good of
everybody, and especially those who be-
come pecuniarily Interested, but if Dallas
does not get it, it will do Dallas no very
great harm; she will go right along BOOM
ing and will get there sges before any of
her competitors.

The people of Texas, speaking through
their representatives, evidently want
either Maxey or Reagan to represent them
in the United States Senate; and it is
plain to everyone, if the balloting so far
may be taken as re fex of public opin.
ion, that Reagan is the first choice of the
people, that Maxey is their second choice,
and that Ireland is the choice of but q
very small portion of the people. If truly
the voice of the people was the voice of
God in this state, this day would not
close until that voice was allowed express
sion in the election of John II. Reagan or
Sam Bell Maxey. But shall the voice of
the people be heard in this contest?
OF the three aspirants, Ireland has
Rleast chance of election. The balloting,
so far, fully iGstifles the opinion that,
should either Maxey or Reagan retire, the
other would be nominated, for Reagan
has gone within thirteen votes of the
prize, and Maxey has stood within eight
teen votes of it, while Ireland has never
been nearer than thirty votes to the COW
eted honor of his life. 1t would seem,
then, that Ireland either entertains the
ceperate hope that he can wear out his
opponents to his own honor, or is merely
holding on to make the best terms. posi-
BILE with the dark horse that may be.
His support is, in the main,
essentially personal and partisan,
and, being so. is necessarily less regard
full of the popular preference than that of
any other candidate.
Maxey's strength is largely personal,
but not to the degree, and not IN the
sense, that Ireland's is. His friends have
more justification for holding on than
have the friends of Ireland. They mey
fairly claim that Msxey is much more
GENERALLY the choice of the people than is
Ireland, and but little less so than is Rea-
gan.
Reagan is yet, as he has been from the
outset, the strong candidate. If Maxey
and Ireland hold on, the Congressman's
only hope Of winning is In the fidelity of

KHAT DOES IT COST .

Since the leasing system went into eff.
feet in 1883, Texas has collected S52l,-
345 so land rental, the number of acres
now leased being 3,992,457. The first
leases were made in January, 1854, three
years ego Estimating that 100000 a
year (Which is an oyer-estimate), has
been added by the lease law to the school
fund, will some one tell US what the
state and the other (than SCHOOL,
funds have lost by "the check
which Mr.. Walsh says has been
"placed on immigration and settlement,
ss shown by the register" 1t would be
interesting TO know just how much the
lease law is costing the school and other
funds of Texas, as well as the loss to in
dividuals whose interests are to be ad-
ysnceI by that Ginning ration and settle
ment upon which the lease law has placed
q check, as shown by the register"
East Texas ought to figure on the lease
account as reported by the land board
for 1886, and see how much that section
contributes to this 5000, 900 year, which
is gained at the expense of the settle
ment OF the country.

There are, already, rumors at Austin
of dark horse. The woods are full Of
them, and nearly every one of them has
been mentioned by somebody. The pos
sibilities, with dark horse as factor,
are too numerous to mention. Terrell
would seem to be out of the question be-
cause Of the bitterness between him and
ireland, and because OF the vigorous war
he made on Maxey during his canvass
of the state. Ross would seem to be out
of the question because Coke lives atWaco.
With the present triangular fight carried
on to WEAKNESS, the Old Alcalde's name
might be as prairie fire; and besides, he
is cid and might be expected to give way

they enter? Will either of them take the

High License.

CleOurne Chronicle.
A bill is before the Legislature for rails
ing retail whisky license to $500 and ell
other liquor license in proportion. Should
bill ike this become law It will reduce
the number of liquor shops considerably,
wiping out entirely the low doggeries
where the worst element assemblies to
csrouse, gamble, rob, murder and PROSE
cute all nefariOus schemes against peace
and law. The traffic would be restricted
to few places, and placed in the hands
OF responsible parties. 1t would operate
as an effectual local option law in ali
small towns and country precincts where
there are no organized pol &c to preserve
order, and would double the revenue
from the traffic. rs one bad feature is
that it gives monopoly to a few men
But there are worse things than monopC-
lies, and low liquor dives is one Of than.
It is right of two evils to choose the less
Sc long a. the liquor trade is to he made
a source Cf revenue to the state, the tax
should be levied with g view to the larg-
est revenue on the enc hand, aud the
most effectual suppression of the evils Of
the tfsfliC on the other. 1t is said the OPP
ponents of prohibition in the Legislature
are pushing this high license law. In an
aside we would say this is not logical.
High license is neutrality-suspicious.

High License.

The saloon license law in Missouri,
amended last winter, has resulted in a
large increase of revenue. The st. Louis
Republican states that the increase of the
tax from minimum of $50 to max
imum of $1,000 has sWelled the revenue
from S547, OO0 to 81, S42, 200 in that city,
while ip the same four years during which
this threefold increase has taken place
the number of saloons has been decreased
one-fifth. So gratifying have the results
been, indeed, that the papers are urging
upon the Legislature the recommendation
in the Governors message that the sale
of spirits be limited the licensed sa-
loon keepers. This is not exactly "pul-
verizng the rum power" but it is utiliz-
ing it to the best advantage in promoting
the general welfare. John Barleycorn
possesses staying qualities, and as long
as he is with US we should restrain his
evil tendencies and make him as useful

IN an editorial denouncing pistol carrying in
Texas, the Fort Worth GAZETTE asks: why
should an orderly, respectable citizen, in com
muntty of orderly, respectable people, where
there is ample police protection and all the
machinery of the law, make a walsing arsenal
of himself" He shouldn't, but what has all of
that got to do with Texas and Texans 2-I Kan
sas City Journal.
The chances are that, according to area
and length of border, there are more hip
pockets in Missouri than there are in
Texas. If THE GAZETTE were laboring
only to put Texas on 8 plane with Mis-
souri,, it would stop right now; but THE
GAZETTE would have Texas accupy an
altitude beyond the hope of "the robber

Mr.. ROBINsoN's libel bill which reads: "Be

The Call is right as to cases where the

the offense is the direct act of the paper

some provision is needful to protect

localities? Ought not q newspaper, IN

opportunity to rectify wrong uninten

HIGH LICENSE AGAIN.

A few days ago TIE GAZETTE gave
some figures illustrative of what high
license, as applied to the liquor traffic,
had accomplished in the state of Missouri
The success which the high license system
has met in Missouri should encourage
! Senator Simkins to persevere with his
! measure, in the same line, now pending
in the Texas Legislature. 1t does not
matter that prohibitory amendment will
be voted on in Texas this year. If the
people declare for prohibition, of course
the opponents of the latter measure will
accept such result gracefully and cheer
fully. But if the people negative the pro-
hibitory proposition Gas THE GAZETTE
believes they will do, then & liquor
traffic law will be as much necessity as
ever, and one like that proposed by Sens-
tor Smkins will be q decided improve
ment on the existing system. Under the
Simkins bill state license for saloons will
be $1,000 per annum, which will be sup
plemented and increased by county and
municipal taxes, making a license in a
large city cost perhaps as much as $1,000,
for state, county and city, a year. Mr..
Simkins' bill also requires saloon men to
enter into $4,000 bond not to sell to minors
or habitual drunkards or to allow variety
theaters on their premises. It's 8 highly
commendable measure, and as evidence
that is en- rapport with the advanced
moral sentiment of the times it may be
stated that on the same day Mr.. Sim
kins introduced his bill in the Texas Leg
isIature an technically similar measure
was introduced in the General Assembly
of New York, and that, too, with the ap-
probation and Endorsement of the Min
isters' and Churches Union of New York
state, which declared high license to be
the rue and most hopeful solution of the
liquor traffic problem. By all means let
Senator Simkins persevere with his bill
IN il it is made law.

II Ireland had submitted to the will of
the people and Withdrawn after the last
ballot yesterday, as he should have done
in Difference to the popular choice, only
the votes could have told whether Reagan
or Maxey would have been elected; the
balloting since Terrell went out gives
Reagan an average of SO, Maxey As and
Ireland 80, and the question would be
whether 16 Ireland votes would go to
Reagan or whether 81 of them would go
to Msxey. Ireland cannot be elected, but
he could end the contest in favor of the
plain choice of the people-Reagan or
Maxey. Will he do this to-day, or will
he hold on until some political dicker can
be made with dark horse?
